GOP should offer challenge to Bush

February 07, 2004|The Morning Call

The Morning Call's Feb. 1 editorial criticism of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party made some valid points. However, I wonder where The Morning Call stands on the lack of candidates for national office?

The Republican Party is apparently afraid to offer choices to voters in the election of our next president. It prefers the totalitarian standard of offering only one candidate, George W. Bush. The Democratic Party is fielding a wide range of candidates and is thereby stimulating important debate.

Sure, democracy can be messy, but it needs choices to be truly called a democracy.
